CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Protect PoE Interfaces from Differential-mode Transient Voltage Threats
Power-over-Ethernet systems require good transient voltage protection to protect against ESD, cable discharge and surge transients, and must be able to withstand differential mode transients induced from DC power connection faults. See how TVS diodes safeguard PoE circuits from differential mode transients.
